yup, apparently it's true. and i just sorted out my tickets too. here's the official news story from qotsa.com:
RED ALERT: The fun machine DID Die and it took a shit.
Friends and Countrymen,I have some bad news and worse news to report. Please, if you would, lend an ear.Queens of the Stone Age was forced to halt their mini-tour on Tuesday after singer Josh Homme began coughing up blood in his Paris hotel room. What doctors in Amsterdam initially diagnosed as the flu was found to be a serious lung infection. This resulted in his immediate return to the United States. The band issued the following statement to the fans on its website:"We've toured with everything from broken ankles to bruised livers, but simply weren't prepared for this relentless attack of teeming bacteria. Our fans know that we ain't pussys and this is an obvious downer for everyone involved. All we really wanted to do was play our new tunes for everybody, and turn this "promo tour" into more of a party. So, for those of you with any unused tickets, hold on to them. We'll be back as soon as possible to make up these shows, and when we do, we'll have something special for all of you with an un-ripped ticket. We ain't in the habit of canceling, and we don't forget."Our deepest sorries to those who have tickets and to Josh, who was coughing up blood.As a theraputic remedy, beat each other with nerf swords - for the pain and anguish. Other ideas will be reviewed -but for now, please stick to nerf products. There was talk of whiffle, but once again - stick to nerf.Truthfully this sucks. The band is already kicking around ideas, as a gesture of apology...these ideas are not limited to microfeesh or orgami. Either way, if you have a ticket to these postponed shows, HOLD on to that ticket.Some ask why, Doctor? I simply respond -I'm a Doctor and that is my duty.Dr. Insider
